We make sure those moving parts get to your site on time and in budget.
Our services allow your project managers to focus on what you do best, while we concentrate on managing your freight.
YOU SHIP. WE DELIVER.
When it comes to upgrading a power plant, drilling for oil, or erecting a new facility, there are a lot of moving parts…
How we help you achieve more:
We start by reviewing the project requirements: delivery deadlines, budgets, and shipping requirements. We then build a detailed shipping and logistics plan that will help ensure on-time deliveries as well as a consistent flow of materials to your job site.
Why is all this important?
Imagine your workers sitting around your job site waiting on deliveries. How much will this delay cost you? By using our services, we will always make sure you have a steady stream of materials to your job site preventing down time and loss of revenue.
Examples of projects we have handled:
Oil Field Plant
Project Scope:
The Kenneth Clark Company was contracted by a manufacturer, that builds Oil Field Plants, to ship three new plants to three different sites in Wisconsin. They required approximately 40 truckloads per site that were a combination of over dimensional, legal flatbeds and step deck shipments, as well as 20 oversized double drop shipments.
How KCC Helped Solve The Issues:
Issue 1:
- The shipper was not able to tell us the size or the equipment needed to ship each day. They could only specify the type of truck required.
- Additionally the manufacturer did not know the delivery site that each truck would need to go to until the driver was loaded.
How we solved it:
- We built a pricing plan and contracted with suppliers so they could carry any size shipment to any location from legal to the largest over dimensional piece, without having to negotiate after loading.
Issue 2:
- The material had to arrive at the site without delays (i.e. permit issues, etc) in order to meet installation crews.
How we solved it:
- Coordinated with state permit agencies to help expedite permit times in order to help insure a consistent flow of material to the site.
Operation Brightstar
Project Scope:
The Kenneth Clark Company was contracted to provide transportation services for the movement of 62 over dimensional and super load shipments. The contract was issued by the US Army Reserve Logistics Squadron based out of Baltimore, MD to arrange, load, and deliver all 62 truck shipments in a window of 5 business days.
Failure to meet the required deadline would have resulted in a mission failure for the US Army and the cancellation of Operation Brightstar.
The Kenneth Clark Company received a certificate of recognition from the US Army Reserve for completing the mission on time.
Logistics Support and Consulting:
- Developed Load and Transportation Plans
- Contacted Each DOT office prior to pickup to make special arrangements and to expedite the permit process.
Equipment Shipped:
- 12 KALMAR Forklifts
- 10 M1A1 Transport Trailers
- 10 M1A1 Transport Tractors
- 60 HMMV’s and Support Trucks
How KCC Helped Solve The Issues:
Issue 1:
- From the time of award to the first pick up we were only provided with 3 business days to coordinate and arrange pick up of 12 Super Loads, 20 Oversized Shipments and 30 Legal Loads.
How we solved it:
- We dedicated a team of freight specialists to manage the project.
- Coordinated 24/7 support.
Issue 2:
- We need the states to complete bridge and engineering analysis on the route for the 12 super loads before permits could be issued. Standard turnaround time is 7 business days from the request date but we were only provided 3 days to complete the process.
How we solved it:
- We worked with the military and the individual state agencies to expedite the bridge analysis and engineering in order to obtain the permits in 3 days.
